stevo-72 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Headed out botany heads before the sun came up in a sloppy ruff sea with the swell pumping hard and fast at stages. Sounded up some reef looking bottom(50m) with Snapper snatcher type rigs with heavy lead i managed to pull a nice snapper that came in at 6kg and measured 75cm...PB for me Sorry for the quality of iphone PIc it was ruff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trapper Tom Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Hey Stevo Top of the line snapper mate. Also thanks for the great info on the rig. Ive been using the Snapper flashers specifically targeting flathead at JB lately and they absolutely nail em. Tried for snapper with limited success only getting squires (but they are a perfect size to eat). Over reefy areas it is now getting a bit expensive using them particularly when the Leatherys are around, I will give your thing a go.
